Positive Review
I work at an auto body shop and we just recently did some work on a Venue. I am incredibly impressed by this vehicle. Most of the small SUVs that come through are tacky and feel like they're trying to be more than they are. The Venue is comparatively tame and straightforward, without being boring or ugly. Further, at 6'3" I don't fit in many >$20,000 vehicles, but the venue is plenty spacious. Since then, I've test-driven a Venue twice and my affection for it has grown greater. The interior, like the exterior, is modern, tame, and straightforward and the seats are comfy! I honestly don't think you can get more standard features for under 20g and the lane-keep-assist is beyond excellent. The ride quality is acceptable for what it is considering it's price-point and size but just about every other driving aspect met or exceeded my expectations. The Venue truly is a remarkable little SUV and is on the verge of becoming my next daily driver! One criticism, though, is that this is obviously not a viable vehicle for long road trips with it's brutally hard door arm rests. Even the plastic on my old base-model pickup truck is softer! Still, for just the daily commute and bumming around town, this shouldn't be an issue. If you just want an inexpensive, modern, well-equiped small city runabout it's hard to recommend any other vehicle, and that's coming from someone who drives about 40 different vehicles every week!

Good eco suv that is actually affordable with grea
Now 4 weel drive, can be loud when you fully step
I love my Venue SEL. Hyundai I'd great at styling their cars. I'm not generally an suv person but this is a great looking sub compact sub with great safty features and gas milage. I got over 40 miles to the gallon on my last fill up but get about 35 generally.
Fuel economy, price, compactness
Love the economical and how compact this car is. Overall, it does a great job with fuel efficiency on highways as well as in town.
Great Value. Modern Styling. Reliable.
Slow at times. Small back seat.
I got my Venue new during the middle of the pandemic, I paid $6k below MSRP. This is the first car I've ever owned myself and I can't say enough how much I love him. Great value, a healthy amount of safety
Fun to drive!
No arm rest or storage up front; no ceiling light
Had this treat for two years. Six speed manual transmission—which preserves brake pads and extends fuel economy (I get 40 miles per gallon) and makes it fun to drive—more responsive in acceleration and Highway punch. Reliable as heck. Roomy interior. Way more interior space than most cars of this class. Good in the snow. Base model has a tough interior, which I really wanted. Tough, black fabric and plastic that can take a beating. I am a musician and a hiker, so I didn’t want a tender vehicle. I wanted tough. Cargo? Lots. I load and transport all of our gig equipment with lots of room to spare. The knocks this car gets elsewhere are not true in my experience: the manual trans gives it pop and fuel economy; it rides smooth on the highway. Also, it’s a unique looking vehicle. Stands out. One last thing: Apple CarPlay comes standard, even in the base model. Huge bonus.
Great on gas, quiet, very easy to manuver
Little smaller for hauling big items
The Hyundai Venue is a small very dependable SUV, it lacks off the line pick up, but decent overall pick up to maintain higher highway speeds. This SUV is surprisingly quiet on the highway and far more comfortable that one may think. I'd get the SEL or Limited rather than the SE. The SEL and Limited come with 17 inch wheels and don't look cheap. Electronics and navigation systems are easy to use and it is an overall a very easy car to drive. It's not the most stylish vehicle on the road, but Hyundai is doing a facelift in 2023 that will give it a few more looks. I own a SEL and I easily get 40 mpg on the highway for the 121 hp engine. So you don't need a ton of power to get where you need to go.
Easy drive, very comfortable, great mileage
Not a powerhouse but adequate.
This little SUV is alot more comfortable than it looks. It does lack a little power from a stand still, and not a bad thing, people drive too fast anyway, but it does very well on the highway, local or long distance. Gas mileage on mine is 35/40, nothing to be ashamed of. I have a SEL. The seats are very comfortable and the cargo space is adequate. The price is very reasonable as well.
I bought this car in Feb 2022 (Approx. $25000 out the door Price) and this is a very good car for this amount of money, especially with a bunch of features with good engine performance. Till now I did not feel any kind of trouble. Easy to park in a small place and very good Mileage in the city as well as on the highway. I love this compact SUV.
